fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on  earth  (the planet where  i  live) a 
 lot  of  us have antennas  on our houses 
 or  balconies,   we  have  built   large 
 antennas for  larger  bandwith,  we have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into  orbit), we've built  large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built an  antenna with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've  learned about our position in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in  the  galaxy,   and   our 
 galaxys  placement in the local cluster, 
 and our  local clusters  place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns moving  around the 
 center  of the  galaxy  at  velocity and 
 the  galaxy  is moving toward  andromeda 
    and we're both moving anticlockwise   
 around  the galaxy. and we as a  species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and  despite all this,  despite all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes out  in fucking  space 
 at the  speed of  light  (light  is  our 
 medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!),  
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming  of all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one       has       answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most  opponents to  intelligent  life in 
 the universe  say  it's because you need 
 a class one-or-the-other  star  and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance  away from the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really  isn't  that   keeping   the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think  everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea what we're doing  (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna go smoke  my  third cigarette 
 this year  and try to snatch some  beers 
        from the local beer thing
